What the new larger wind turbines look like.

WIND TURBINES are getting LARGER, this isn’t the 1990s anymore with 2 MW. Most are looking at 4.5 – 7 MW which means, larger turbines, and not as much “LAND” needed, but may need a larger “SWEEP” area for wind ie could be 599 feet tall! . Most may cap payments to 5 MW even though they “MAY” put up 7 MW. Here is some more info on sizes and what is out there…
